"The Health Freak" Crunchy Quinoa Salad

This little salad is a little shock of colour and crunch from lovely veg. It is also protein-packed with quinoa, pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds!

I found a recipe that had similar ingredients that was torn from a newspaper clipping. Of course, I used what I had on hand and tinkered a bit but it is a lovely, healthy salad that could easily be a meal.

This is an easy-to-make salad that can be made ahead for lunches or meals as it keeps well in the fridge for a couple days.

Try not to feel like a "health freak" when you are eating this salad- I dare you!

Crunchy Quinoa SaladIf you don't happen to have apple cider vinegar, lemon juice would make a great substitution in the vinaigrette. And I might just sprinkle some feta on my salad tomorrow...
